I'm assuming Fran was about 35 or maybe a little older when she married Maxwell. Is there anyone on here who had their first marriage at a later age like Fran? I'm 31 and I haven't married yet I'm like Fran still trying to find a man and get to marriage. I might be 35 by the time I marry...lol.
I haven't been married yet but I guess you would be more like Fran if you dated your male boss with 3 kids, a butler, and somebody like CC Babecock. So am I am in the same boat as you through I would doubt you would want me anyways.
shareYa'll two should swap e-mails!! You never know....lol!
shareI was 45 January of 2006, when my husband and I were married.
I began to work at a grocery store in 2002. My husband had worked there for 16 years when I began. That year his first marriage of 2 years began to fall apart, and 2 years later when his divorce was finalized, he asked me out several months later. WE had become friends from the time I began to work there, so when we went out for the first time, we knew each other pretty well, and we hit it off almost immediately.
I knew one day I would find the right man, it just took me a while to find him. But 8 years later, we are still going strong.
I'm 26, totally single and never meet men, so at this point, I would be shocked if I did end up getting married in the societally acceptable under-30 years. So I'm with you, OP. There's a few of us out there! Though where I live, seems like everyone married their high school or college-age sweetheart.
shareI know right. I wish I could have been like one of lucky women to have married their high school/college sweetheart.
shareMy sister didn't get married until she was 38 years old, and I'm still single at 30 years old.
Intelligence and purity.
In my case I was already 26 which is not that old but my bride was 40.
We had a great life together I lost her on 12/21/12

I was 50 when I walked up the aisle and my husband was the same age. Only marriage for both of us. I used to tell those who asked why I wasn't married - "I didn't meet Mr. Right and wasn't going to waste time on Mr. Wrong." (That was probably an unkind dig to all the divorced people out there, but it was the way I honestly felt)
shareThat is how I feel too. I am 46 and still haven't met the man for me.

I disagree with the assertion that those who found "the one" at an early age are lucky. Your younger years are a time of exploration and discovery, and not being tied down allows for one to "be a kid" for a longer period of time.
shareLike I said, try living it and then get back to me about how freedom is the best thing one can have. It sounds like you either have been in a relationship since a young age or are just not the type of person who particularly wants a serious relationship. But the thing is, if you don't want to be in a relationship, then you can choose not to be. You can't choose TO be in a good relationship when that right person hasn't come along, though. To me and plenty of single people I know, sacrificing some of the freedom and mundane pleasures that come with being single would be well worth it to find the right relationship.
shareMy cousin's husband (she was married previously, he wasn't) was in his early 40's when they got married, and she was actually his first girlfriend let alone wife.

Wow you guys interesting stories so far. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. The other day I met this lady and she is a year younger than me and is still single. I don't feel bad we both thought we were the only one left that was over 30 and single.
shareI'm 28 and still single, and would be suprised if that changed anytime soon.
shareSome of my friends and I are GenXers, and all my female friends and I from this age group are singleโall SIX of us. So, we're older than Fran, single, and have never married. Two more of my friends from this age group are single but divorced.
From this group, some of us are content but looking; some are content and don't care to look; and some are bitter and have given up.
(I have a few friends who are even older and have never married.)
